i'm back- as a married man

[Sir Calumn]

in terms of the civil partnership act, i think that it has been gone about in completely the right way. Getting the rights is by far more important than what these rights are actually called, and the decision was not a government one, but was taken by the main campaigners, Stonewall, who decided that they would fae less opposition from the "religious" people around the country if they avoded using the term marraige, which in itself is seen as a religious act.


I am sorry to say it, as I do consider myself to be religious, and would love to say that I am married to Mark ( as it sounds so much more permanant, than civilly partnered to) and in our eyes the word marriage means more along the lines thats it's blessed by god ( there's alreadt threads around on Gay Religion so this isn;t the place to discuss in mroe dpeth) and that we were bought togetehr by him -

As most Gay men are not religious in the slightest, the fact that the act has came in means that they can get precisely what they have always wanted, and people such as Mark amd I are 1 step closer to getting what we really want.

Oh yeah, dont get me wrong, it's a great thing that such a rediculous example of prejudice was broken down. It's just that, to me, subtle inequality in a supposedly equal society grates more than blatant prejudice in an unashamably prejudicial society.

Whilst away, as many of you will know, my partner Mark and I got married, so everything is good, and I now have a double-barrelled - very posh sounding surname

I take it you're the one wearing the skirt then?
Aye, sorry mate, couldn't help it. Sincerely hope it all goes well for you and your... husband. There's no reason why you guys shouldn't get what you want in life.

Wrong!

and I won;t bother responding to the other comment, it would just lead to too many "risky" conversations

I definitely see what you are saying, and do agree to a high degree, but I would rather have things as they are now, than they were 1 year ago

suppose you get used to taking whatever your given when being on the receiving end of such ridiculous laws ( don;t even get me started on section 28 )

thanks again guys


seems like I say this in every thread about such subjects, but it really is encouraging to see so many people being happy for me, even when they may not agree with the way I have chosen to live

Just don't come back to VA--we just banned gay marriage here.

Congratulations Steven.

I don't know you either, but getting married must have been awesome for you!

I still remember it as one of the happiest days of my life, along with the day my daughter was born.

It's cool, fella. It's just one of the many undated legislations of taste and convenience that has been bugging me for a while
